Chapter 619 Children are learning
"Uncle, look." Zhang Ping'an took a book-like book from the side.
"Is this a calendar?" Di Lixian was shocked.
Although he couldn't read, he had lived through such a long time and had a unique set of experience in farming.
Therefore, it is possible to see what Zhang Ping'an is holding in his hand.
Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Uncle, this is a calendar compiled by Mr. Sima Jizhu, the master of the world."
"The king also invested ten thousand golds on this, and just now compiled this set of calendars."
"With this set of calendars, there will be rules for the farming work in the future! The king has ordered that each household will have one copy."
At this time, the fairy in the Dili smiled and said, "Peace, you're just thinking it's bad!"
"Even if we all have this set of calendars, we can't read! We don't know what is written on it."
At first, everyone was a little happy when they listened to Zhang Ping'an's words, but when the local immortals asked about this question, everyone realized that it was useless even if they were holding this calendar.
The rich family in this village is the Zhang family. What the Zhang family does on weekdays? What are their talents doing?
In comparison, although this calendar is good, it is far inferior to the water wheel and the curved plow in the eyes of everyone.
After all, these two save time and effort. At that time, the benefits they bring to them are also obvious and can be felt by the naked eye.
Zhang Ping'an smiled. He had expected this. To be precise, it was not that he had expected it, but that Fusu had made sufficient preparations for it.
How could he not know that any village or literate person on this vast land in Shandong is quite rare.
In this era, illiteracy is the most common.
It is precisely because of this that Fusu made great efforts to promote education in the army, so that all soldiers should know the text and snippets, and master knowledge of arithmetic, geography, agriculture and other knowledge.
In Fusu's view, the Qin army should not only be responsible for siegeing cities and sieges and expanding territory for Qin, but should also be a working team. Wherever they go, they can spread the gospel of the Qin Dynasty to the local area.
Truly make the world come back to the hearts and the whole world convinces everyone.
Zhang Ping'an looked at the fairy in the field and smiled and said, "Uncle, I have returned to my hometown these days, but I have seen many children in the village fighting in the village!"
"At such an age, I should have studied hard in the school!"
Speaking of this, the earthly immortal's eyes became dark. To be honest, if there is a condition, no one wants to let his younger generation study, after all, this is a way out.
Even if you can't study, it's good to know two more words.
However, how can this reading be afforded by ordinary people?
Not to mention anything else, just textbooks that recognize words are a difficult problem.
If there are more advanced books, the people they possess will often cherish and will not take them out at all.
It takes a considerable price to take a look.
Even if you spend a lot of money on this, you can only read for one or two hours and not copying it, it is considered to be particularly favorable.
Therefore, in this era, there are many people who own one or two precious books, such as "The Art of War", which can rely on this book for several generations to live without worries, and even have a lofty reputation in the local area.
Zhang Ping'an's face turned right at this moment and said, "My elders, the king has already stated that children are the hope of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, children's education is the top priority of the country."
At this time, Zhang Ping'an gave up half of his body, led his subordinates to everyone, and said, "Since today, these people are not only responsible for all matters in the village, but also for the children in the village to be educated and taught by them."
"If you have some free time, you can also listen to it."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an keenly noticed the disapproving expression on some people's faces.
Zhang Ping'an knew that few people were as cheerful as the earthly immortals, and most of them were very stubborn.
Nowadays, a child, who is fourteen years old, is a strong laborer in his family.
Such a child can even be said to have started to help his family do some work within his ability when he was five or six years old.
If I were sent to elementary school, wouldn’t there be one less person working in this family? But the number of people who eat at home has not decreased.
In the eyes of some people, reading is too far away, so it is more important to live first.
In this regard, Zhang Ping'an deeply felt Fusu's vision. These problems seemed to be within Fusu's expectations, and the corresponding solutions were already prepared.
Just kidding, Fusu’s past few years of folk travel is not just a joke. Fusu has a certain understanding of the general situation in the village. Fusu has all been involved in what the villagers think.
Therefore, it is not surprising to formulate corresponding policy strategies. Of course, there have been some situations where the environment is not adaptable to the local environment. However, Fusu also gave some autonomy to the grassroots, so that in some aspects, such situations can be avoided and overcome.
Zhang Ping'an said slowly: "All the children in the family come to the school to get a chicken every day. In addition, the village also wants to raise another fat pig. At the end of the year, among the children, the top ten of the school entrance exams can be divided into pork."
This is the incentive measure established by Zhang Ping'an. Of course, the specific content of this cannot be determined by Fusu himself. It is to require grassroots officials to establish it based on actual conditions. The core point is to touch people's hearts.
Zhang Ping'an has never been idle these days after returning to his hometown. He has also figured out a lot about the general situation in this village.
When everyone heard this, they were moved. One egg a day was really unimaginable to these people.
As for the pork at the end of the year, let’s not mention it!
I don’t know when the last time I ate meat and eggs!
At this time, Zhang Ping'an also knew that he should take out his trump card, "My elders, don't blame me for not informing you in advance."
"If there are children in the family who don't want to come to elementary school, it's just that there is nothing in the water wheel, the crooked plow, and the calendar that the king rewards."
"In addition, Ping An also informs you that soon, the county will reorganize the re-division of the fields of each incense and petal. Anyone with children who do not want to be educated will have no land."
"The Qin law also states that if the family can have more children, taxes can be reduced or even tax exempted. If the family is poor, you can rent the county to farm. The rent tax paid is only 10%, and it is not impossible to be tax-free."
